FIG. 1 shows a heat shrinkable multi-layer film according to the present embodiment. The heatshrinkable multilayer film 10 includes anintermediate layer 11, andouter layers 12 formed on both sides of theintermediate layer 11. - The
intermediate layer 11 is a layer containing polypropylene. Examples of polypropylene include homopolypropylene, an ethylene-propylene block copolymer, an ethylene-propylene random copolymer, an ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer, and a propylene-butene copolymer. Among these, homopolypropylene is preferred, since it ensures sufficient strength. - Further, the polypropylene may be the one produced by using any catalyst selected from a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, a magnesium chloride-supported titanium catalyst and a metallocene catalyst.
- The
intermediate layer 11 may contain additional resins other than the polypropylene. Examples of the additional resins include polybutene, an ionomer resin, a petroleum resin, and the like. - The content of the polypropylene in the
intermediate layer 11 is preferably 50 to 100% by mass, more preferably 60 to 90% by mass. If the content of the polypropylene is less than 50% by mass, the strength of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 may be reduced. - The
intermediate layer 11 may be an expanded layer. If theintermediate layer 11 is an expanded layer, the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 has a heat insulating property, and thus is suitable for a label of a bottle for heated beverages. - If the
intermediate layer 11 is an expanded layer, the expansion ratio is preferably 1.3 to 4.5 times, and more preferably 1.5 to 3.5 times. If the expansion ratio is less than 1.3 times, the heat insulating property tends to be lowered. If the expansion ratio is more than 4.5 times, the smoothness of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 tends to be lowered. The “expansion ratio” as used herein is a value represented by D/d, where D is a density of a layer obtained by molding a resin without the use of an expanding agent, and d is a density of a layer obtained by molding the same resin with the use of an expanding agent. - If the

If theintermediate layer 11 is a non-expanded layer, the thickness thereof is preferably 20 to 80 μm, more preferably 25 to 50 μm. If the thickness of theintermediate layer 11 is equal to or above the lower limit, the solvent resistance is increased and reduction in the strength after solvent sealing can be prevented. If the thickness of theintermediate layer 11 is equal to or below the upper limit, reduction in the flexibility of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 can be prevented. - The
outer layer 12 is a layer containing a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, polypropylene, and a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer or a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer. - The
outer layer 12 may be an expanded layer or a non-expanded layer. - Here, the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer is one for providing solvent sealability to the heat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10. The styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer preferably has a content of the butadiene units of 10 to 50% by mass. If the content of the butadiene units is 10 to 50% by mass, suitable heat shrinkability can be ensured. - The polypropylene is used to increase the adhesion strength with the
intermediate layer 11.

If the content of polypropylene is 10% by mass or more, the adhesion strength with the
intermediate layer 11 can be increased.

- Further, the
outer layer 12 preferably includes a styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer as this can prevent shrinkage at a low temperature. If the styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer is contained, the content thereof is preferably 5 to 50% by mass. If the content of the styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer is 5% by mass or more, shrinkage at a low temperature can be sufficiently prevented. If the content of the styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer is 50% by mass or less, sufficient solvent sealability, and the adhesion strength with theintermediate layer 11 can be sufficiently ensured. - If the
intermediate layer 11 is an expanded layer, the thickness of theouter layer 12 is preferably 5 to 20 μm, more preferably 5 to 15 μm. If theintermediate layer 11 is a non-expanded layer, the thickness of theouter layer 12 is preferably 2 to 10 μm, more preferably 2 to 5 μm. If the thickness of theouter layer 12 is no less than the lower limit, the adhesive property due to solvent sealing can be increased. If the thickness of theouter layer 12 is no more than the upper limit, reduction in the flexibility of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 can be prevented. - The heat shrinkage rate of the heat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10 is preferably 15% or more in a direction of main shrinkage, and 12% or less in a direction orthogonal to the direction of main shrinkage at the same time, as measured by immersing the film in a hot water bath at 100° C. for 30 seconds. The heat shrinkage rate is more preferably 20% or more in a direction of main shrinkage, and 10% or less in a direction orthogonal to the direction of main shrinkage at the same time. If the heat shrinkage rate of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 is 20% or more in a direction of main shrinkage, and 12% or less in a direction orthogonal to the direction of main shrinkage at the same time, the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 can be easily attached to the body of a bottle or the like by heat shrinkage. - In the
outer layer 12 of the above-described heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10, a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer or styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer is used as a compatibilizer to compatibilize a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer and polypropylene. Since the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer contained in theouter layer 12 has solvent solubility, solvent sealing can be applied for the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10, which also has excellent printability. - Moreover, since the
outer layer 12 contains polypropylene, the adhesion strength with theintermediate layer 11 containing polypropylene is increased. Accordingly, by applying coextrusion in the preparation of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10, theintermediate layer 11 is bonded with theouter layer 12 without the use of an adhesive. - Furthermore, since the
intermediate layer 11 of heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 contains polypropylene with high solvent resistance, solvents hardly penetrate into the film when solvent sealing is carried out. As a result, the strength of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 is ensured even after carrying out solvent sealing. - In addition, since the
intermediate layer 11 contains polypropylene, it has high heat resistance and strength. A layer obtained by expanding thisintermediate layer 11 can maintain its shape after heating, and thus is suitable for a heat insulating layer. - The above-described heat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10 is favorably used as a label to be attached on the body of a bottle. - In order to attach the label to the body of a bottle, first, a heat shrinkable film that has been cut to a predetermined length is made into a tubular-shaped product by solvent sealing. Examples of the solvent used for solvent sealing include an aliphatic hydrocarbon-based solvent such as n-hexane and n-pentane; an alicyclic hydrocarbon-based solvent such as cyclohexane; and an aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvent such as toluene, xylene, and benzene. Among these, a mixed solvent of cyclohexane and n-hexane is preferred due to an easy solvent sealing.
- The body of a bottle is inserted into the tubular-shaped product obtained in the above manner, and heated to shrink the beat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10, thereby a label composed of the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 can be attached onto the body of the bottle. - Next, one embodiment of a method for preparing the beat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10 is described. - The heat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10 is prepared by coextrusion and stretching. Specifically, a resin composition for forming an intermediate layer containing polypropylene is first prepared. A resin composition for forming an outer layer containing a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, polypropylene, and a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer or styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer is then prepared. - Next, by means of a coextruder for forming a three-layer structure, a laminate is prepared including a first layer formed of a resin composition for forming an intermediate layer, and second layers formed of a resin composition for forming an outer layer and are disposed on both sides of the first layer.
- Next, by using a uniaxial or biaxial stretcher, the laminate is stretched to obtain the heat shrinkable
multi-layer film 10 composed of the first layer as theintermediate layer 11, and the second layers as the outer layers 12. - In this preparation method, a tubular sheet may be coextruded from a circular die to prepare a laminate and the laminate may be stretched into a tubular shape. Alternatively, a tubular sheet may be cut into a flat shape and then be stretched as described above.
- If the
intermediate layer 11 is an expanded layer, for example, a method in which the first layer is incorporated with gas such as an inert gas or hydrocarbon, or a method in which the first layer is incorporated with an inorganic expanding agent such as ammonium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, a heat-decomposable expanding agent such as an nitroso-based expanding agent and an azo-based expanding agent, or the like, may be applied. The first layer that is incorporated with the above-described gas or expanding agent can be made into an expanded layer by co-extrusion of the first layer. - In this preparation method, both of the resin composition for forming an intermediate layer that would form the
intermediate layer 11 and the resin composition for forming an outer layer that would form theouter layer 12 contain polypropylene. For this reason, by coextrusion of these layers, anintermediate layer 11 containing polypropylene and theouter layer 12 containing a styrene-based resin can be easily bonded without the use of an adhesive. Accordingly, by this preparation method, the heat shrinkablemulti-layer film 10 composed of theintermediate layer 11 containing polypropylene and theouter layer 12 containing a styrene-based resin can be easily prepared. - 75 parts by mass of polypropylene (manufactured by Japan Polypropylene Corporation), 25 parts by mass of a petroleum resin (Arkon P140, manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, LTD.), and 2 parts by mass of a master batch of an expanding agent (content of an expanding agent: 20% by mass) were mixed to prepare a resin composition for an intermediate layer.
- Further, 15 parts by mass of a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer (HYBRAR KL7350, manufactured by Kuraray Co. Ltd., and referred to as SEPS in the tables), 25 parts by mass of polypropylene prepared by using a metallocene catalyst (trade name of WINTEC WFX-4T, manufactured by Japan Polypropylene Corporation, and referred to as PP in the tables), and 60 parts by mass of a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (trade name of CLEAREN 880L, manufactured by Denki Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, and referred to as SBS in the tables) were mixed to prepare a resin composition for an outer layer.
- The resin composition for an intermediate layer and the resin composition for forming an outer layer were extruded in a coextruder equipped with a T-die at 220° C., and then cooled and solidified by a cooling roll at 40° C. to prepare a laminate including a first layer to serve as the intermediate layer, and second layers disposed on both sides of the first layer to serve as the outer layers.
- Next, the laminate was stretched 5 times in a horizontal direction by a tenter at 80° C., and subsequently relaxed to 5% in the width direction in the same tenter. Then, the laminate was annealed at 75° C. over 5 seconds to obtain a heat shrinkable multi-layer film having a thickness of 150 μm, and an expansion ratio of the intermediate layer of 1.5 times. The thickness of each of the layers is as follows: outer layer/intermediate layer/outer layer=10 μm/130 μm/10 μm.
- The solvent sealability, the solvent resistance, the adhesion strength between the intermediate layer and the outer layer, and the heat shrinkability of the obtained heat shrinkable multi-layer film were evaluated as follows. The results are shown in Table 1.
- First, two sheets of heat shrinkable multi-layer films were prepared. A felt having a width of 100 mm was held on a tip of a syringe filled with a solvent, and the solvent was supplied by the syringe, and thus penetrated into the felt.
- Next, the felt penetrated with the solvent was brought into contact with one end of a heat shrinkable multi-layer film in a TD direction, and the solvent was applied. Onto the part applied with the solvent, one end of the other heat shrinkable multi-layer film in a TD direction was overlaid, and then left to stand at 23° C. for 1 day. Then, the film was cut to a width of 25 mm to prepare a specimen, and the specimen was used for 180-degree peeling test at a pulling rate of 50 nm/min, thereby measuring a peeling strength. In the measurement, those having a peel strength of 35 g or greater were given an A rank, and those having a peel strength of less than 35 g were given a B rank.
- In addition, the solvent sealing was carried out using a mixed solvent of cyclohexane/ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran as the solvent.
- A heat shrinkable film having a width in an MD direction of 25 mm was held between a pair of chucks with a chuck-to-chuck distance of 50 mm in the stretched state. Then, a mixed solvent of isopropanol/ethyl acetate was applied onto the heat shrinkable film, and the state of the heat shrinkable film surface was observed with naked eyes for evaluation. Those which did not exhibit surface changes such as fine cracks were given an A rank, and those which exhibited surface changes were given a B rank.
- A Cellophane tape (trade name, No. 405, manufactured by Nichiban Co., Ltd.) was adhered on both sides of the heat shrinkable film, and then the tape was peeled off. At this time, those in which the intermediate layer and the outer layer are not completely peeled off were given an A rank, and those in which the intermediate layer and the outer layer are completely peeled off with no resistance were given a B rank.
- A heat shrinkable film that had been cut to a size of 10 cm×10 cm was immersed in a hot water bath at 100° C. for 30 seconds, and then taken out. After that the shrinkage rates in horizontal and vertical directions were measured. Those giving the shrinkage rate of 15% or more were given an A rank, and those giving the shrinkage rate of less than 15% were given a B rank.
- Mono-Layer Films Each Having a Thickness of 20 μm were Prepared by Extrusion molding using a resin composition for forming an outer layer, respectively. The resistivity at the time of tearing this mono-layer film in a vertical direction was used for evaluation. Those which could not be easily torn were given an A rank, and those which could be easily torn were given a B rank. Note that the films having low compatibility are low in strength or the like, and thus have insufficient practical applicability.
